Texas has a ton of money, but hiring a new coach for basketball (buyout for Barnes) and a new coach for football (buyout for Brown plus $10,000,000 for Saban) is a LOT of dough.

First, it's a piss in the wind for Texas. They're doing 175M/per in revenue, blowing out the rest of college sports. As Deloss Dodds once said: "People talk about keeping up with the Joneses. We
are the Jones."
Second, if you read the AP article on this, they have private donors everywhere that would put up the cash. Tom Hicks spent $250M on A-Rod, he wouldn't care about far less for Saban. A bored Texan with money to burn is a dangerous thing.
